If I had to choose between the two it would be the C3, but with a few small changes, because it would be more of a driver for me. A little more power, more comfortable seats, and a more stock looking C3/C4 wing spoiler.

When I got into autox back in the very early eighties there were a lot of fast C2 and C3 Vettes ripping around the cones in this area (Toronto). Both of these cars bring back memories and make me smile. For me there is no clear winner between these two. I would happily own either one.

Shawn and Greg are my new hero's. First, congratulations on a great shoot. Gregs Stingray with wide tires all around, and the magic he did with it was spectacular. I've watched every GM vehicle you have featured. The one you just did with Gregs Stingray is the only one that literally gave me goosebumps. The genuine remarks you spoke and body language are real.

I like the C3 wide body Corvette. The wide body kit is great. No exposed screws or additional plastic pieces were added to the fenders that show the seams between the fenders and the extentions. The fenders are smooth from top to bottom. If the power train is making 410 hp at the tire, it's probably making close to 500 at the engine crank. That's good enough for me. It's horsepower that can actually be used for the street or autocross.

The C3 has always been my favourite gen of Corvette, with the C7 and C6 as runners up, but I must say that the C2 has enough design character to make it into 4th place, especially when it comes to customising. I especially like the metallic orange one in the vid. As you said though, the less said about the C4 the better...

We know both cars and their owners. They’re great people - friendly, humble, and a pleasure to be around. I’ve ridden several autocross laps in these two cars, Scar and Rambo, and can confirm that they’re both amazing. However, I’ve always been a C3 guy, so I’m drawn to Rambo and the ‘70s curves, especially with the JCG Customs spoilers. On the other hand, I love the color that Greg put on Scar and like the mechanical mods/additions, like the ABS, the rear suspension, and the fire suppression system. So it’s a toss up for me. Maybe what I really need is a bright orange C3. 🤔

WORD OF ADVISE FOR C3 REBUILDS...................................I bought a 1978 twenty fifth anniversery C3 just to upgrade and make into a daily driver. But...... when I got it in my shop I realized it needed work. When I lifted the body off I was absolutely stunned. I could NOT believe that GM passed that frame on down the line to mount an engine in. I had to sand blast it down to shinny metal, re-weld the ENTIRE frame. There were massive gaps in the welds. The welds were shotty, sub-standard and frankly piss poor. CHECK YOUR FRAME if you are going to upgrade. Corvettes at that time had crappy welds in the frame and I'm quite surprised GM didn't have MAJOR recalls for this. I'm going from a 350 with a 4 speed automatic to a 5.7 L cranking out over 450 horses and significant increase in torque so the frame has to be strong enough to handle that.
